Question: Why is there such disparity in value between some handwritten and typewritten letters?

Answer: Well, some players, such as Ty Cobb, were known for handwriting a lot of their letters, so the letters do not sell for a huge premium above typed letters. On the other hand, some major stars like Babe Ruth would very rarely handwrite letters so the handwritten ones sell for much more than the typed examples based on pure scarcity. In addition, the handwriting provides a personal touch too and more perceived value.
